Montana Ranger's Wedding Vow

Dallas, a medically retired Army Ranger, is having trouble adjusting to life without a leg. She finds herself at Brighter Days Rehabilitation Ranch in hopes of working out some of her issues. While there, she works along side other former military men who are also adjusting to life without various limbs. At the ranch, she is not considered "less than" or a "curse" to the men in the unit. Instead, the men rally around and support each other. Vince, also known as "Viper", is also retired from the Army serving as a sniper. Viper has also had trouble adjusting to life after the Army, not really finding his purpose. He is plagued with guilt for not being there when his wife and baby needed him and knows he's not cut out for a relationship. When Hank, of Brotherhood Protection Agency, offers him a job he jumps at the opportunity to make a difference. But when his first assignment has him in a "fake" marriage, he's not sure if he can play the part. Dallas, raised by her father as more of a tomboy, is in over her head as a fiancé. She doesn't even own a dress or know how to apply makeup! Viper hasn't wanted to kiss or even hold hands with a woman since his wife died. If they can work together long enough to capture the saboteur before he kills someone, they will have proven their worth to Hank. Quirky, fun, suspenseful.... I enjoyed how the girls supported Dallas and took her under their wings. Viper's ribbing of Dallas was highly entertaining. Dallas' yearning to be more feminine, but tough was very realistic. Dallas and Vioer made excellent partners and more. I loved the twist at the end! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

Dallas Hayes was raised by her father to hunt, fish and ride four wheelers and to take care of herself. Joining the Army she gave it her all and became a Army Ranger and vowed to show the men she was just as strong and able as them. She long ago gave up any girly side she had and any future she might of had ended when she lost her leg. No man would want her now. Her dream now is to find a job and get on with her life. Vince “Viper” Van Cleave’s wife and child died when he was deployed, he feels he will never find love again. He’s now a retired Delta Force and is at a loss of what to do and having a hard time fitting into civilian life. He’s offered a job with the Brotherhood Protectors, he’ll give it a try but not sure he’s up for just protecting socialites. Someone is sabotaging weddings in the area, if their not stopped soon someone just might loose their life. The Brotherhood hires Dallas to partner up with Viper as the happy newly engaged couple in hopes of ferreting out the sabotage. Dallas knows nothing about weddings, hell she barely feels like a girl anymore. Now she’s to act like the blushing bride and Viper seems to be willing to kiss her all the time? For the first time in years Viper has feeling for a woman, she’s strong and independent and totally does not know how desirable she is. The more time they spend together the more their feelings grow. With danger at every turn Viper and Dallas may not make it to their fake wedding or to tell each other how they truly feel. Viper and Dallas had great chemistry and lively banter it was fun to watch Dallas come in to herself. The story was full of twists and turns, good suspense and a villain I didn’t see coming. I just felt like the story was missing something and I’d didn’t flow well at times.

Montana Ranger's Wedding Vow starts off with a heart-stopping scene that grabbed my attention and and didn't let go. Someone is sabotaging weddings/newlyweds and a limousine carrying a newly married couple goes over a cliff. While this book can easily be read as a standalone without fear of being lost, I loved that we got to revisit some of the characters from earlier books in the series. A retired D-Force soldier, Viper is new to the Brotherhood Protector's. He is partnered with Dallas, a medically retired Army Ranger who lost part of her leg serving her country. They pose as an engaged couple planning their wedding, to try and draw out the saboteur. The story had several heart-pounding moments but the scene where Viper rescues Dallas may be one of the most exciting I've ever read by Elle James. I had two small issues with the story: 1. There was no mention of an engagement ring for Dallas. Even though it was a fake engagement there should have been a ring. 2. In the scene where Viper rescues Dallas he was cut up but there was no mention of patching him up (I can't say more without spoilers). If you like romantic suspense, and hot former military characters, you should enjoy Montana Ranger's Wedding Vow. An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

As if weddings arn’t stressful enough, someone is out to stop them from happening in Eagle Rock. Viper is a new Brotherhood Protector, and is following behind fellow Brotherhood Protector Taz and Hannah who are leaving for their honeymoon when the limousine loses control. As this is not the first of many attempts on the brides and groom of Eagle Rock, Hank Patterson, founder of Brotherhood Protectors decided something needs to be done and assigns Viper his first assignment, find who is trying to stop the weddings. Of course every groom needs a bride. Dallas is a former Army Ranger who since losing her leg does not know what her life will be like. For so long, she has only known military life. Hank hires Dallas for the part of Bride. Viper and Dallas fight to survive the wedding planning and find the person who doesn’t just say ‘I object’ at weddings, but tries to stop them at any cost. Like all of the Brotherhood Protector stories, this one keeps you guessing to the end until the good guys win and get a HEA love story too. I received an ARC of the book but this is an honest opinion. I even have purchased the book to keep with the others in the series.

This book is hot; the heat between Dallas a former Army Ranger who lost her leg in battle and Vince “Viper” a retired Delta Force soldier is wow. They are put together to trap a saboteur who is trying to ruin weddings. Viper is hired by the Brotherhood Protectors and his first assignment is with Dallas to pretend they are getting married so they can trap the bad guy who is ruining weddings and possible lives. Together they are terrific, both of them have hang-ups but when they kiss or touch fireworks. Great read, highly recommend. I was provided the book to provide an honest review
